Protesters could be seen hurling objects towards Israeli military vehicles on the other side of the border fence amid tear gas, as several injured Palestinian protesters were carried away on stretchers by paramedics.

The Great March of Return, launched in March last year, form a series of protests along the Israeli-Palestinian border to demand the right for Palestinians to return to their families' pre-1948 homes.
